The Melvins

The Melvins are in the midst of their '51 States in 51 Days' tour, attempting to set a Guinness World Record for fastest tour of the United States. Frontman Buzz Osborne has been keeping a tour diary at Spin.com, and had some interesting observations about previous tours with Nine Inch Nails and White Zombie.

As an automobile, this 1972 Dodge van has seen better days. But as a pop culture artifact, it's worth over $20,000, thanks to some scribbling Kurt Cobain did on the side during his stint as a roadie for sludge metal pioneers the Melvins.

If you didn’t spend your life savings purchasing the childhood home of Ronnie James Dio on eBay recently, there’s another auction up for grabs that might interest fans of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

The Melvins are back with a new album and are looking to shatter a Guinness World Record for the fastest tour of the United States, which they plan to do by playing every state with 51 shows in as many days.

The Melvins -- or more accurately, to use the name they're operating under for this record, Melvins Lite -- fearlessly conquer even more new sonic territory on their 18th album, 'Freak Puke.'

The Melvins, currently on tour in their "standard" four-piece configuration in support of the just-released 'The Bulls and the Bees' EP, have announced the first round of summer tour dates for their new three-piece Melvins Lite lineup.

The Melvins have just released 'The Bulls and the Bees' EP,' which is available for free downloading courtesy of Scion A/V. The band has also made a new music video for 'The War on Wisdom,' which comedically depicts the group as little kids jamming out and retaining those famous Melvins hairdos.

Grungy sludge merchants Melvins have just released the first song from their upcoming EP 'The Bulls and the Bees.' 'National Hamster' is one of the five tracks that will be released for free on March 13.

Got an some extra dough burning a hole in your pocket? Well, we've just found your next extravagant purchase. It's a beautiful 1972 Dodge Sportsman Royal Van with an ice cream sandwich paint job, busted hood and four flat tires! Oh yeah, it also just happens to have been used by the Melvins during their early years and features art drawn onto the van by Kurt Cobain.

The Melvins will release a five-song EP titled 'The Bulls and the Bees' on March 13 as a free download via ScionAV.com.
